На игре 2. Новый уровень/Na Igre 2. Novyy uroven - Hooked 2.  The Next Level
Russia (2010)
Starring:  Sergey Chirkov, Marina Petrenko, Pavel Priluchnyy, Evgeniy Kharlanov, Tikkhon Zhiznevskiy, Nodar Siradze, and Aleksey Bardukov


Na Igre 2 picks up right where the first left off.  It's the beginning of the struggle between multiple parties for and against world domination via an army of programmed gamers.  This movie features a well knit web of deceit and domination that evolves into a struggle for life from all sides.  If you watched the first one... you've gotta see this one too.


All of the open story is closed in this movie.  I have to give it up for the director and writer of this movie (Pavel Sanayev and Aleksandr Chubaryan) they really didn't leave loose ends.  This movie was just as difficult to acquire, it was kind of luck that I happened upon them both.

Na Igre seems to be patterned after a guy's teenage dream; any gamer from the olden days of Street Fighter tournaments at the local arcade to the Halo fanatics of today can appreciate the concept behind this movie.

In Gamers there is a group of video game tournament winners who are given a CD.  Once played the CD programs the brain granting the skills of the games each played to the winners.  From there on out it is a battle for control of the CDs by many different parties.

All in all Na Igre was worth watching.  It was different and unique.  It is kind of amusing to watch these super first person shooters try to out smart themselves and the world around them.  There are a few things in the movie that don't really connect and make sense, but if you can forgive that and were a game fanatic - it's worth an attempt at watching.  Na Igre certainly was a difficult movie to get my hands on though.
